Question:
I asked a few weeks ago but the response may have gotten lost. Will this fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler with a rear mounted spare tire? Cant find the specs of how much it sticks out. Thanks, Marc

Hey Marc, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I checked your question history and I don't see anything from a few weeks ago which can sometimes mean there was a typo in your email address and we sent it to wrong person. This rack has a tighter clearance from the hitch pin hole to the first wheel tray so I do not believe it would fit past a spare on the rear of a Wrangler as most of the time you need at least 12 inches there. But sometimes that figure is different. Could I get you to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on your rear spare? With that info I can verify what rack would work for you.
For example we have the Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR which has quite a bit of clearance for a rear spare as it was designed to be able to be used at rear of an RV. See attached photo.

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry about the typo! It looks like 8.5" from the center of the hole to the back of the actual tire; about 11.5" including the backup camera (which I know will not be usable). The Hollywood rack would probably work, but I like the idea of the loading ramp. How high off the ground would the bike need to be lifted with the Hollywood rack? Are there any that include the ramp and would hold my 75# e-bike? Thanks, Marc
